21-09-23 | Marvel Comics invite you to the wedding of the decade! Next week Tony Stark and Emma Frost tie the knot. It’s superhero romance at its finest: Iron Man marries an X-Man … or rather X-Woman. Among the guests are Captain America (both of them), She-Hulk, Vision and dear old Peter Parker. With writing by Gerry Duggan and illustrations by Juan Frigeri, its bound to be interesting.
There’s good publicity stunts and there’s bad ones. Team-ups between comic heroes are fun but they also tend not to be finely written yarns. But with a subject as corny as ‘the Big Marvel Wedding’, who cares about daft writing. It’s silly comic book logic at its finest. Naturally the next issue of The Invincible Iron Man will tie into Fall of X. It promises to be a honeymoon from hell, but we guess that’s just the way Stark and Frost like it.
‘Witness the shocking proposal and Emma’s even more shocking answer in X-Men #26, and then put on your best Hellfire attire for the introduction of Mrs. and Mr. Emma Frost in Invincible Iron Man #10! The circumstances of the ceremony is riddled with secrets and subterfuge.’ The covers for X-Men #26, released last week, and Invincible Iron Man #10, released next week, merge to reveal the idyllic wedding scene. Enjoy the wedding, folks!
